The airport's own timetable lists airport-to-city departures only inside a 07:10–19:20 window (and inbound trains 08:00–18:30 on weekdays). Budget-airline arrivals after dinner find the platform empty — there is no night train.
Ticket sales via drivers were discontinued on 1 September 2024. The valid on-board method is tapping a contactless bank card on the validator, which buys the €1.25 60-minute ticket; apps (JUDU/Trafi/m.Ticket) or a €1.50 JUDU card loaded with e-tickets work too. Ride without an activated ticket and inspectors fine you.
The airport warns that only official Vilnius Airport taxis — identifiable by in-car stickers showing the approved tariffs — are the contracted rank; it solicits receipts specifically to investigate overcharging. Men quoting flat prices by the exit are not the rank cars.
Under the airport's current notice, the new departure terminal is open and check-in and security screening now happen only there. Old guides and muscle memory pointing at the historic arrivals building will waste your morning.
